okta probing
by Randy Bush 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

can someone explain what some child out there hopes to gain by repeatedly failing to authenticate to okta in my accound name? a couple of times a day, i have to take 40 seconds to unlock the account the kiddie has triggered. seems silly as they do not have the 2fa. it's -3c here, so i guess the clue level is going down as well as the temp. randy

Shared cache servers on an island's IXP
by Jérôme Nicolle 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hello, I'm trying to find out the best way to consolidate connectivity on an island. The current issues are : - Low redundancy of old cables (2) - Low system capacity of said cables (<=20Gbps) - Total service loss when both cables are down because of congestion on satelite backups - Sheer price of bandwidth On the plus side, there are over 5 AS on the island, an IXP and small-ish collocation capacity (approx 10kW available, could be upgraded, second site available later this year). We'd like to host cache servers and/or VMs on the IXP, with an option to anycast many services - without hijacking them, that goes without saying - such as quad-whatever DNS resolvers, NTP servers and whatever else could be useful for weather-induced disaster-recovery and/or offload cables. Do you think most CDNs, stream services and CSPs could accommodate a scenario where we'd host their gear or provide VMs for them to announce on the local route-servers ? If not, what could be a reasonable technical arrangement ? Thanks ! -- Jérôme Nicolle +33 6 19 31 27 14

Hi Gael, Le 18/01/2024 à 13:48, Gael Hernandez a écrit : > Friends from PCH (www.pch.net <http://www.pch.net>) operate backend > services for DNS authoritative ccTLDs and the Quad9 DNS resolver. They > would be very happy to help. I'm sure they would, I'm a big fan of their work BTW. Though hosting them in a densely connected area isn't the same as it will in remote locations, I guess there could be some work to be done to get it running properly, as Stephane wrote. How would you think we could work on that ? I mean, disconnected or extremely high latency scenarii should be on a research roadmap by SpaceX' standards, right ? ;-) Best regards, -- Jérôme Nicolle +33 6 19 31 27 14

One would hope they would have had disaster recovery plans to bring in outside cold air, and have executed on it quickly, rather than hoping the chillers got repaired. All our owned facilities have large outside air intakes, automatic dampers and air mixing chambers in case of mechanical cooling failure, because cooling systems are often not designed to run well in extreme cold. All of these can be manually run incase of controls failure, but people tell me I'm a little obsessive over backup plans for backup plans. You will start to see premature failure of equipment over the coming weeks/months/years. Coincidentally, we have some gear in a data centre in the Chicago area that is experiencing that sort of issue right now... :-(

Bryan, My personal use of email agents involves ordering incoming messages by date sent. Many others order their inbox by date received. I don't use MUA ordering by thread or conversation because I must use MUAs on many diverse systems. So for many decades, I have continued to use my own mental programming to sort and group messages by subject. This, by the way, is akin to aural conversations between persons where announcing a change of subject is expected to be followed by a new topic. For those of us on OCD, ADD, or Autism spectrums, multiple subjects lines cause cognitive dissonance - sometimes damaging comprehension of the continuing thread (conversation). I don't claim it violates the ADA, but it should especially when willfully continued after requests for amended behavior. Lazarus Long would probably express this more cogently. In the interest of polite conversation, - James R. Cutler james.cutler(a)consultant.com
